reflections can help create beautiful photographs. An old woman's face reflected in a window, a child gazing into a reflecting pool, trees reflected in swamp water, even a puppy staring at its own reflection in a mirror. The uses for reflections are as numerous as your imagination allows.

DUE FRIDAY WITH SUN PHOTOS!!!!!!!

DUE THURSDAY

Architectural shoot
Ideas: Mainstreet, Hudson School, Houses, Greenhouse, Barns
The average building is far taller than the tallest photographer so there will inevitably be some element of distortion in an architectural photo, but this can be employed to create a source of tension within the frame. Simply position yourself as near to the base of the building as possible and shoot straight up. If playing with perspective isn’t for you then stand further back and add a sense of scale to your image by incorporating everyday objects such as people, trees, transport and benches, etcArchitectural images shouldn’t just be aesthetic and graphic; they should also provide dynamism and movement – so play with the lines, the light and the shadows to provide interest and consider the hierarchy of levels and areas. Architecture is built on the principle of symmetry, so capturing this symmetry will ultimately reinforce the subject matter and hopefully strengthen the composition. Discover the centre of the symmetry by placing your hand between your eye-line and construct your frame around this centre. Alternatively break free of the cold and sterile straight lines and rectilinear angles and follow the principles of nature by including curves and circles in the form of shadows or reflections can help to soften the structure

Self Portrait. The concept of this is simple: take a picture of yourself . It helps to use a tripod and shutter release, rather than limiting yourself by trying to shoot with the camera at arm’s length. You are the most patient subject you could ever work with, so use this to your advantage. Get creative, overact, dress up, and use props. You decide how you want to show yourself to the world! (5 shots)

A Day in your the Life … From Beginning to end. What is your day like? What images surround you as you make your way though your day...At least 5
